What is BS EN 13312-1 - Performance criteria for piping and instrumentation about?
BS EN 13312 is a European standard that discusses biotechnology. BS EN 13312-1 is the first part of the multi-part series that outlines the performance criteria for piping and instrumentation used in biotechnological processes concerning the potential hazards to the worker and the environment from microorganisms in use to ensure its safe performance in biotechnological processes.
BS EN 13312-1 applies to the intended use of the equipment including hazardous or potentially hazardous microorganisms used in biotechnological processes or where exposure of the worker or the environment to such microorganisms is restricted for reasons of safety.
Who is BS EN 13312-1 - Performance criteria for piping and instrumentation for?
BS EN 13312-11 on general performance criteria for piping and instrumentation is useful for:
- Manufacturers of piping and instrumentation used in biotechnology
- Test centres
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use BS EN 13312-1 - Performance criteria for piping and instrumentation?
Biotechnology is the use of biology to solve problems and make useful products.
BS EN 13312-1 aid manufacturers in the classification of couplings, sampling and inoculation devices, tubes and pipes, valves, and equipment probes regarding safe performance in biotechnological processes.
BS EN 13312-1 guideline assists you with hazards, performance classes, classification of performance, verification of performance, marking, and packaging for evaluating the performance of vessels.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 13312-1, you can standardise the performance of piping and instrumentation used in the biotechnology process by meeting the general performance criteria. In addition, provides classification that is easily understandable and readily utilizable for the user and the regulatory authorities.
